Description of VPS Hosting Services

To fulfill the demand for affordable, but reliable hosting solutions, companies started an intermediate website hosting platform - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a hosting server that performs quite like a : dedicated web server and is much more advanced than any shared web hosting plan. On the other hand, as numerous accounts are created on the very same physical machine and each person pays for their account, the price for a VPS hosting package is markedly lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS hosting package is slightly more expensive than the most feature-rich shared web hosting package, but its resources surpass decidedly those of the shared hosting account.

Each separate account is insulated from all other accounts on the web hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run its own OS and be rebooted autonomously from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are administered via a virtualization console where customers can observe all running processes and abort or reboot them, update server-side software applications, keep track of the consumed and the available resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just several examples of virtualization panels utilized for creating and handling virtual web hosting server packages. They involve diverse requirements regarding the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can work on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be activated on a server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be installed on the concrete private virtual servers.

Managed VPS Hosting Solutions

The virtualization console offers the customer the freedom to administer the VPS hosting autonomously from the hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their support team to reboot a specific service or restore a backup. If the user is not proficient, however, we offer a voluntary upgrade that encompasses OS and software installation and update procedures, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a handful of VPS web hosting server server farm facility locations to select from: North America, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Web Hosting CPs for VPS Hosting

The domains and the web content on the VPS web server are tackled through a web hosting Control Panel GUI, similar to a classic shared web hosting plan's. The distinction is that with web hosting packages, customers obtain one concrete hosting CP, while with a VPS hosting package, providers traditionally present a number of website hosting Control Panels to select from, and the more competent clients can install and avail of the web hosting CP they want. Certain virtualization consoles support installing a website hosting CP through them to render things easier for the customer. Unfortunately, most hosting Control Panels are not cost-free. Some of those demand a monthly fee (cPanel charges 13 dollars/month, have a peek at BuycPanel.com), while others require a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting Control Panels that limit the number of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we speak of website hosting Control Panel-supplied VPS hosting, it's worth stating that, by default, all VPS hosting packages provided by us are equipped with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It includes unlimited hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is attainable at no additional license cost, therefore the monthly cost of the virtual private web server account picked by the customer does not fluctuate. What's more, Hepsia perhaps sports the best Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered VPS Hosting Accounts

The hosting Control Panel GUI enables users to handle domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and email box accounts, to observe bandwidth and load logs and to observe exhaustive statistics concerning the used up and the free resources. Like the virtualization panels, the web hosting Control Panels are built to operate under a particular Operating System. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most famous website hosting CPs, runs exclusively under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is conceived by the same designer, performs solely under Windows. Other website hosting Control Panels like Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of certain web hosting Control Panels over others is that they include different control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a different set of specs governing the levels underneath, so it is simple to establish a reseller web hosting website and start making money by offering web hosting services to other people. As customers will monitor what amount of the system resources is consumed, but will not be able to see the actual numbers, even a low-end Virtual Private Server web hosting package will suffice to launch a small shared web hosting web hosting firm and make money.

The VPS Hosting: an Independent, Affordable Solution

A VPS hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support web sites such as a busy online store or a big company web page. As its administration is simple, it is the favored selection of both beginners and experienced users.
